"I'm sorry, but I won't give up. I felt that. You kissed me back, and I know you still love me like I love you. I'm going to wait for you to forgive me because I've always been yours, like you've always been mine." He strokes a tear away from my cheek and places his other hand on my bump.

"I'm going to love you both so much that we will forget the past. I screwed us up, but I'm going to fix it, May. I was a kid then, but I'm not now,"he tells me as he pulls my head to his chest. We stay like this for a while as we both calm down.

I rest my head on his chest a second longer before turning away and opening the door."I have to go home, so I guess I’ll see you soon?"I ask gently.

"Can I ask you one question? Did your parents make you date anyone else?" he asks, looking so worried it almost makes me smile.

"No. I've been pregnant, Sebastian. Morning sickness all day kind of makes you less dateable, and only Kyle, the asshole, would try to date me." I laugh as he frowns. I should tell him that I dated someone else for a little while as a rebound, but I can’t find the words. Surprisingly, I just don’t want to hurt him, and it annoys me.

"Sickness or not, you’re the hottest girl I've ever seen. So I have the right to be worried." He smiles sadly.

"I've been on dates with Kyle, but that's my parents’ condition for sleeping under their roof. I won't let him touch me because of their rule. He knows that but has it in his head that I'm going to marry him. I was just saving up to move out while keeping my parents happy,"I tell an angry-looking Seb.

"They shouldn't make you date someone." He runs his hands through his hair in frustration.

"They don't think I can handle being a single parent, and I thought I was alone. In their own way, they are trying to make me safe and happy, I think," I say with a deep grimace and look away, as even I don’t believe my own lie. I don’t look as I open the door and end up running straight into the face of Elliot, who just walked out of his room.His hand shoots out to my shoulder to stop us from bumping into each other.

"You won't be alone, you have a family now," Elliot says darkly, but he smiles gently before walking off. I raise an eyebrow at Seb, who chuckles.

"I’ll walk you out, and that's Elliot’s way of saying ‘congrats’ to us." Seb smiles before taking my hand and leading me out. I say goodbye to Allie and Izzy before promising to call them for a catch-up day.

"Thanks for listening to me today," Seb says, stopping me from getting into his car, and I turn to look at him.

"We are having a baby together soon. So we should be able to get along as friends,"I tell him, still smiling.

"I want to do more than just get along as friends, May, but I'll take what I can at the moment. Let's get you back to your car."He smirks at me in a way that showcases his amazing smile.

"Sure," I say in a little bit of a daze. When he starts the car, I can't help but voice what I'm thinking. "Why do you want me? I'm huge now. I don’t look like the girls you've been with or how I looked before. Is it because I'm carrying your child that you want me?" I ask, looking away from him.

Seb stops the car, we are half-way down his driveway as he turns my chin so I’m forced to meet his angry, green eyes. We stare at each other as he places his large hands on both sides of my face and pulls me into a scorching kiss. I can't help but let him as his tongue slips into my mouth, and I hear him moan my name under his breath before kissing me again.

We pull apart, eventually, as we struggle to get our breath back.

"Hell, May, I've never wanted anyone as much as you. You’re beautiful, even more now, and it annoys me that you can't see that.” He pins me in place with his serious gaze, I couldn’t look away even if I wanted to as he smooths a piece of my stray hair behind my ear.

“Yes, I'll admit I want us to be a family, but I want you more. It's always been you for me, May," he says, moving so he is resting his forehead against mine. I want to believe him, but I keep seeing Elena's face, or all of the other girls he had while he claims he was always mine.

"I can't, Sebastian, I just can't–"

He cuts me off with a sweet kiss. "Don't say anything now. You need time to think and forgive me for being a stupid idiot. I won't give up, and I'm going to be waiting for you, even if it means I end up not having sex for the next forty-odd years."He grins at me while his eyes devour my body.

"Only forty, huh? Are you not planning on living past your fifties?" I joke to lighten the mood, trying to ignore how happy it makes me that he isn't going to be fucking around with other girls right now.

"No. I’ll die from lack of sex by then." He winks, and I can't help but laugh.

Chapter 6

Sebastian

“Seb, are you ok?” Maisy asks from my side as I watch my father’s coffin in the middle of the church. Her hand is clutching mine, and it is the only thing I’m concentrating on to stop the anger flowing within me.

The whole town has fucking turned up, going on and on about how sad it must be to lose a father at this age, how it must be hard for Harley to have to raise us. They don’t know shit, Harley has always fucking raised us, and our so-called father was the idiot who got in his way. The only reason half the people are here today is because our father has paid them off, or fucked them over in some way.

I turn, watching as Harley and Luke ignore the priest who talks about redemption, what a load of shit. The smirk on Harley’s face is quick, but I catch it. The priest has no idea where our father is; the bastard would be in Hell, not Heaven. I’m surprised his coffin didn’t set alight the minute we walked in as a warning from God. I wish Elliot had decided to come with us. He just couldn’t, and actually, I am wishing I didn’t either.

“Seb?” Maisy’s soft voice asks again, and I turn to her with a small smile.

“I’m good, you know I love you, right?” I whisper, but it still seems to echo in the quiet church, and I don’t care how loud it is.
